Hourglass

This day seems so endless A broken heart pounds inside I can but listen Every beat sounds like it's the last I have no strength To sever myself from this It's like the sound of a clock You've heard and can't shake anymore As time keeps slipping away I still lie here helplessly As our existence split in two Your time went on, mine came due I can not control The ripples this created It's like butterfly effect But only in linear time I need to act, need to get a hold of myself Stop time from leaving me behind But all I can do is lie here in pain As the tears run down my face I voicelessly scream Please take me back home
